To put a shackle on the feet or not to a detainee.
That was the discussion between
two policemen in Uruguay
.
They were in the Hospital de Clínicas de Montevideo, when the disputes rose in tone until they reached an
unusual and violent fight
between the two.
The sequence was filmed by one of the security cameras on the ninth floor of the sanatorium and
a summary was initiated with dismissal
for both.
In the filming, which lasts just over a minute, you can see the officers of the
National Rehabilitation Institute
(INR) talking in the corridor leading to room 832, where the detainee was, they even come to blows .
It all happened on Saturday after 8:00 p.m. First, one of them places a pineapple on the other's face, who responds in the same way.
A kick and more punches added to the fierce dispute.
A nurse tried to separate them
just started the fight.
She didn't make it.
The situation was so tense that they had to call another police officer, a superior, who
withdrew their regulation weapons and left them incommunicado.
Sources from the Uruguayan Ministry of the Interior quoted by
El País
reported that a summary investigation was initiated with dismissal of both police officers, who were arguing while guarding an inmate.
The fight originated because one of the troops wanted to put a shackle on the prisoner they were guarding and the other did not.
Now, the case was left in the hands of the legal area of the National Rehabilitation Institute (INR).
The director of the Hospital de Clínicas, Álvaro Villar, described the event as
"something totally out of the ordinary"
and was surprised since "a confrontation of this magnitude had never happened."
"In this hospital there are policemen who guard people deprived of liberty and there was an incident that had absolutely nothing to do with the hospital or with the care. According to what the Ministry of the Interior told us, measures are going to be taken so that happen again," he added, in dialogue with the local media
